Laing O'Rourke's new £100m off-site manufacturing plant could encourage more women to join the industry Laing O'Rourke says it expects to attract more women into the industry when it opens its first off-site manufacturing plant. Demolition and remediation work is currently being carried out at its first plant at a former colliery in Steetley, on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border, with building work starting just after Christmas. Part of the complex will open next year, the rest in 2009. Mike Robins, the firm's managing director of European construction operations, said the £100 million plant will employ around 270 people, a significant number of them women. He said: "We think the shift from site to production facilities will see more women in the industry."
